Specs
How does this model differ from the XR55A80L, other than it's $200 more?
Answered by SonyListensHi Paco, Hi Paco, Thank you for your interest in the Sony Bravia 8! The Sony A80L and Bravia 8 are both exceptional OLED TVs. Below are some key differences between the two: The A80L is powered by Cognitive Processor XR while the Bravia 8 has XR Processor. The 2024 XR processor of the Bravia 8 is new, so it is better at performing the functions of the 2023 processor, plus scene detection for color, advanced facial recognition for more precise images, and Anime facial detection for smoother lines. Voice Zoom 3, Acoustic Center Sync 2.0 (soundbar required), 10% brighter, thinner design, 4-way stand position, and an improved audio system. For a more precise comparison, please visit your local retailer. Or refer to our website at https://electronics.sony.com/. We are looking forward to your purchase. Thank you for considering Sony! Regards, Sam
